poll showing that president obama is expected to win the debate by a51% and mitt romney by 29%. it seems like president obama is more highly anticipated as the winner of the debate. do these sort of expectations setting games actually work for voters? >> i don't think they matter too much for the voters. it's a lot of fun for us to talk about. you know, as the comedy that you were just playing before suggested, if either one of these guys gets a complete sentence out, it should be a surprise to all of us. look, i think that it -- it matters a little bit on the margins, working the reporters who then report to the public. by and large i think the public is pretty good at making its own judgments. i don't think people walk in going, well, my expectations is about a 4, so if he gets a 6, i'll vote for him. if he gets a 5, no way. i don't think it works that way for most voters. >> i saw an interesting tweet come across the twitter this morning from carole simpson. she said debates are about style and not substance, despite what campaigns say. does he look and sound good is he perso

debates. how important are the debates, and can he use the debates to help turn things around? many feel president obama is an excellent debater and frankly i didn't see that much in the debates in the primaries from romney that would make me think that he's got some surprise in store. but i could be wrong. >> well, i thought he performed pretty well in the debates and primaries. i thought he won 16 out of the 17 republican debates. i thought the only one he did poorly in was south carolina. and they're good forms for him. it's structured. he's disciplined. he's taught the 90 second response and he sticks to it. he speaks with conviction and looks pretty good. so yeah. i think he'll also have going for him that expectation game. so the expectation is that he's going to clean the floor with mitt romney. if romney hangs in there, i think it will be a bit of a positive. again, i think the debates are positive. they're very important. can they turn around an image of a guy when he's on his own is a doofus. it's close to the point of no return. if that's his strategy, i don't know i
